Doncaster Sheffield Airport set to close as flights begin "winding down"

Doncaster Sheffield Airport will begin "winding down" flights from next month as it's set to close, according to bosses.

The regional airport will close indefinitely, potentially leading to the loss of 800 jobs with 2,700 more also likely to be affected. According to Peel Group - which owns the airport - a strategic review found that the airport was "not viable due to its lack of adequate forward revenues and high operating costs".

It has not yet been announced when the airport would officially close, however, it will be "winding down" flight from October 31. The decision to the shut down the airport reportedly came after it was offered public money to continue running until next year, the Mirror reports.
